SAVING THE LOW FLOW DATA
Click Save when a suggested output file name is displayed. You may
change this name if you like. After it is saved, the file will be displayed in
the Data Folder branch of the Navigation tree and will open in the
Information pane, like other test files extracted in Win-Situ or Pocket-Situ.
The file may be displayed in report format or as a graph in both Win-Situ
and Pocket-Situ. (If you can’t see much on the PDA screen, try scrolling to
the right.) The top of the file presents well, site, and project information. At
the end of the file are the measurement data.
Additional functions are available through Win-Situ (desktop or laptop PC).
• Print (file menu)
• Graph (button in Information pane) However, note that better
graphical report output is available if you export to Excel
• Save as text file (file menu)
• Export to Excel (file menu)
